Replacing unit training {replacing a unit type with another unit type}

[Majskolven]

I have a research that is supposed to make me able to train a new type of units. But when I finish the research I want to totally replace a type of other units with these new ones. So if u go and want to train the old units then u will find a new icon that makes u able to train the new ones instead of the old ones. So now I can only train the new ones and not the old. It's like in age of empires II when you research Man-at-Arms and they replace militia. How do I do this?

I'm not sure if there's a trigger that can add or remove units that are available to train..
but an easy way would replacing the building.. make it like some upgrade or, if you don't want to upgrade it, make a set of buildings. All look the same except the unit that gets trained.. so you replace BuildingA with unitA, with the BuildingA1 with unitB.. while BuildingA1 is exactly the same like BuildingA.. hope you get what I mean

Just base your upgrade on Barrage Upgrade and do this:

The barrage dosn't work, the new unit is available from the beginning and the only thing that happens when I research is that the old unit gets unavailable

oh, ur lucky i just made a barrage allike ability for my goblin race. And i got it fixed. Go to Scenario-> Techtree properties

and there choose the race (of your custom unit) and just check the box of that unit of.

for example i have a 'goblin steamroller' and the new unit , 'goblin steamroller (AA missiles)'

I just simply check off the box next to 'goblin steamroller (AA missiles)' And now it works perfectly

The Troll Headhunter upgrade works the same way too I think , that should also work.

I have no idea how to mark a post as solved

I think you have to start them with the "unsolved" tag and wait for a Mod to change it to solve, because you can't change it (so just wait or pm them ^^ or read the pinned Info for it)
